Let K be a field of characteristic different from 2 and C an elliptic curve over K given by a Weierstrass equation. To divide an element of the group C by 2, one must solve a certain quartic equation. We characterise the quartics arising…

For a reductive group G and a finite order Cartan-type automorphism \iota of G, we construct an eigenvariety parameterizing \iota-invariant cuspidal Hecke eigensystems of G. In particular, for G = Gln, we prove, any self-dual cuspidal Hecke…

We describe a method to show a plane quartic over a number field has no rational points. The method can be adapted to show that a curve does not have divisors of degree 1 or 2 and can be generalized to arbitrary smooth projective curves.…

Let G be a n-dimensional Lie group (n>2) with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric. We prove that if a surface of constant Gaussian curvature in G can be expressed as the product of two curves, then it must be flat. In particular, we can…

Let C be a complex smooth projective algebraic curve endowed with an action of a finite group G such that the quotient curve has genus at least 3. We prove that if the G-curve C is very general for these properties, then the natural map…

Starting with a $\mathbb{C}^*$-valued cocycle on the global quotient orbifold $X // G$, we apply transgression techniques for 2-gerbes, as developed by Lupercio and Uribe, to construct a gerbe on the orbifold loop space $\mathcal{L}(X//G)$.…

An important problem in computational arithmetic geometry is to find changes of coordinates to simplify a system of polynomial equations with rational coefficients. This is tackled by a combination of two techniques, called minimisation and…

Geometric Invariant Theory gives a method for constructing quotients for group actions on algebraic varieties which in many cases appear as moduli spaces parametrizing isomorphism classes of geometric objects (vector bundles, polarized…

We use the theory of the quantum group $U_q(gl(2,\RR))$ in order to develop a quantum theory of invariants and show a decomposition of invariants into a Gordan-Capelli series. Higher binary forms are introduced on the basis of braided…

Let $D$ be an irreducible plane curve. In this article, we first introduce a notion of a quadratic residue curve mod $D$, and study quadratic residue concis $C$ mod an irreducible quartic curve $Q$. As an application, we study a dihedral…

This paper presents algebraic methods for the study of polynomial relative invariants, when the group G formed by the symmetries and relative symmetries is a compact Lie group. We deal with the case when the subgroup H of symmetries is…
